NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, excluding per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Organization: The Warnaco Group, Inc. (‘‘Warnaco Group’’ and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the ‘‘Company’’) was incorporated in Delaware on March 14, 1986 and on May 10, 1986, acquired substantially all of the outstanding shares of Warnaco Inc. (‘‘Warnaco’’). Warnaco is the principal operating subsidiary of Warnaco Group.
Basis of Consolidation and Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company's Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for Fiscal 2005 (which the Company expects to file as soon as practicable) and Part II — Item 5. Other Information included herein.
Results of acquired companies are included in the Company's operating results from the date of acquisition and, therefore, operating results on a period-to-period basis are not comparable. In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature except for the restatement entries) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the reported interim periods. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
All inter-company accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Periods Covered: The period from April 2, 2006 to July 1, 2006 (the ‘‘Three Months Ended July 1, 2006’’) and the period April 3, 2005 to July 2, 2005 (the ‘‘Three Months Ended July 2, 2005’’) each contained thirteen weeks of operations. The period from January 1, 2006 to July 1, 2006 (the ‘‘Six Months Ended July 1, 2006’’) and the period January 2, 2005 to July 2, 2005 (the ‘‘Six Months Ended July 2, 2005’’) each contained twenty-six weeks of operations.
Reclassifications: For comparative purposes, certain prior period items have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 7 for a discussion of certain reclassifications.
Stock-Based Compensation: In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (‘‘SFAS 123R’’). SFAS 123R requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Among other matters, SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the forfeiture rate of stock-based compensation awards. In addition, liability awards will be remeasured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized ratably over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (‘‘SFAS 123’’), and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (‘‘APB’’) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. On April 14, 2005, the SEC announced the adoption of a rule that deferred the required effective date of SFAS 123R. The SEC rule provided that SFAS 123R would be effective for registrants as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005.
Effective February 5, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options under SFAS 123 for all options granted by the Company after February 4, 2003 pursuant to
5
THE WARNACO GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, excluding per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
the prospective method provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure (‘‘SFAS 148’’). From February 5, 2003 to December 31, 2005, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense based on actual forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards.
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method. As such, results for prior periods have not been restated. The computation of stock-based compensation expense using SFAS 123R compared to the computation of stock-based compensation expense using SFAS 123 resulted in a reduction in stock-based compensation expense of $271 (from $4,754 to $4,483) and $631 (from $8,473 to $7,842) for the Three and Six Months Ended July 1, 2006, respectively, as a result of the use of an estimated forfeiture rate in the computation of stock-based compensation expense. For the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006, the reduction in stock-based compensation expense caused income before income taxes to increase by $271 and net income to increase by $175. For the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006, the reduction in stock-based compensation expense did not have any effect on basic or diluted income per common share, cash provided by operating activities or cash provided by financing activities. For the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006, the reduction in stock-based compensation expense caused income before income taxes to increase by $631, net income to increase by $407 and basic and diluted income per common share to increase by $0.01. The reduction in stock-based compensation expense did not have any effect on cash provided by operating activities or cash provided by financing activities for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006. The cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS 123R was not material.
The Company has issued stock options and granted restricted stock and restricted stock units under the following stock-based compensation plans:
2005 Stock Incentive Plan
The Warnaco Group, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the ‘‘2005 Stock Incentive Plan’’) permits the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock awards and other stock-based awards (including but not limited to restricted stock units), some of which may require the satisfaction of performance-based criteria in order to become vested or payable to participants. Subject to adjustment for dividends, distributions, recapitalizations, stock splits, reverse stock splits, reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, split-ups, spin-offs, combinations, repurchases or exchanges of shares or other securities of the Company, issuances of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of common stock or other securities of the Company and other similar events, the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan is 3,000,000 shares of common stock; provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares that may be subject to restricted stock awards shall not exceed 750,000. The Compensation Committee of the Warnaco Group's Board of Directors is responsible for administering the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company has reserved 3,000,000 shares of its common stock for stock based compensation awards granted pursuant to the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. Substantially all awards granted under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan have a contractual life of 10 years and vest annually with respect to 1/3 of the award on each anniversary of the grant date beginning in 2006 provided that the grantee is employed by the Company on such date.
2003 Stock Incentive Plan
The Board of Directors and Compensation Committee thereof are responsible for administration of The Warnaco Group, Inc. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the ‘‘2003 Stock Incentive Plan’’) and determine, subject to the provisions of the plans, the number of shares to be issued, the terms of

(Unaudited)
awards, the sale or exercise price, the number of shares awarded and the rate at which awards vest or become exercisable. The Company has reserved 5,000,000 shares of common stock for stock-based compensation awards granted pursuant to the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan. Substantially all stock-based compensation awards granted after January 3, 2004 have a contractual life of 10 years and vest annually with respect to 1/3 of the award on each anniversary of the grant date beginning in 2005 provided that the grantee is employed by the Company on such date. Substantially all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to January 3, 2004 have a contractual life of 10 years and vest, with respect to ¼ of the award, six months after the grant date and, with respect to an additional ¼ of such award, each anniversary after the first vesting date for a period of three years provided that the grantee is employed by the Company on such date.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton model to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. The Black-Scholes-Merton model requires the Company to make significant judgments regarding the assumptions used within the Black-Scholes-Merton model, the most significant of which are the stock price volatility assumption, the expected life of the option award and the risk-free rate of return. In determining the stock price volatility assumption used, the Company considered the volatility of the stock prices of selected companies in the apparel industry, the nature of those companies, the Company's stock price volatility since its emergence from bankruptcy and other factors. The Company based its estimate of the expected life of a stock option of six years upon the vesting period of 36-42 months and the option term of ten years for issued and outstanding options. The Company's risk-free rate of return assumption for options granted during the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 and the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 was equal to the quoted yield for five-year U.S. treasury bonds as of the date of grant. Compensation expense related to stock-based compensation awards is based on the number of stock-based compensation awards that the Company expects to vest and the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant and is recognized over the vesting period of the stock-based awards on a straight-line basis.
The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted and the intrinsic value of options exercised and restricted shares/units vested during the Three Months and Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 and the Three Months and Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (‘‘SFAS 154’’). SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented reflecting the new accounting principle as if it had been adopted at the beginning of the earliest period presented. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate and that the correction of errors in previously issued financial statements be termed a restatement. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. As discussed in Note 18 and Part II — Item 5. Other Information, the Company will be restating its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended April 1, 2006 (‘‘First Quarter 2006’’), for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 (‘‘Fourth Quarter 2005’’) and for Fiscal 2005, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 154.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (‘‘SFAS 155’’). SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 10, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS 155 permits an entity to measure at fair value certain financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (‘‘SFAS 156’’). SFAS 156 requires recognition of a servicing asset or liability at fair value each time an obligation is undertaken to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract. SFAS 156 also provides guidance on subsequent measurement methods for each class of servicing assets and liabilities and specifies financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect adoption of SFAS 156 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (‘‘FIN 48’’). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income tax in interim periods and income tax disclosures. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt FIN 48 as of the beginning of fiscal 2007 and is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 2—CKJEA Acquisition
On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of the companies (the ‘‘CKJEA Business’’) that operate the wholesale and retail businesses of Calvin Klein jeanswear and accessories in Europe and Asia and the CK Calvin Klein ‘‘bridge’’ line of sportswear and accessories in Europe (the ‘‘CKJEA Acquisition’’) from Fingen Apparel N.V., Fingen S.p.A., Euro Cormar S.p.A. and Calvin Klein, Inc. for total consideration of approximately €240,000 (approximately $291,647), consisting of cash consideration, net of cash acquired, of approximately €166,000 (approximately $202,300) and assumption of indebtedness of approximately €74,000 (approximately $89,347). In addition, the Company had incurred professional fees and other related costs of approximately $6,850 in connection with the acquisition. The CKJEA Acquisition provided the Company with rights to distribute Calvin Klein jeanswear products worldwide and expand its retail channel of distribution. The purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including adjustments to the amount of working capital acquired. Approximately €37,000 (approximately $44,518) of the assumed debt was repaid simultaneously with the closing, leaving approximately €37,000 (approximately $44,829) of assumed debt outstanding. The CKJEA Acquisition was consummated pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2005 (as amended as of January 30, 2006). The Company is in the process of determining the final allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on acquisition and obtaining final independent third party appraisals of certain acquired assets. As a result, the purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to change.

The Company funded the acquisition using a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under a new $180,000 term loan facility under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. See Note 11.
In connection with the consummation of the CKJEA Acquisition, on January 31, 2006, the Company acquired various exclusive license agreements and entered into amendments to certain of its existing license agreements with Calvin Klein, Inc. (in its capacity as licensor). The acquisition of additional licenses and the amendments to certain existing licenses did not and will not require any additional consideration from the Company. The exclusive license agreements acquired in the CKJEA Acquisition have a duration of approximately 41 years from January 31, 2006 (except the license for Calvin Klein collection, which expires in 2013), subject to the terms and conditions of each such exclusive agreement.

All intercompany revenues and expenses are eliminated in consolidation. Management does not include intercompany sales when evaluating segment performance. Each segment’s performance is evaluated based upon operating income before restructuring charges, depreciation and amortization of certain corporate assets, interest, foreign currency gains and losses and income taxes. In conjunction with an evaluation of the Company’s overall segment reporting and to reflect how management currently views the business, a portion of corporate overhead expenses (i.e., those that relate directly to segments) were allocated to each segment (based on specific usage or other allocation methods) from the beginning of the 2006 fiscal year. For comparative purposes, prior period segment results have been restated to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 6—Income Taxes
The following presents the domestic and foreign components of the Company’s provision for income taxes included in income from continuing operations:
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||
July 1, 2006 | July 2, 2005 | July 1, 2006 | July 2, 2005 | |||||||||||||||||||||
Domestic | $ | (1,530 | ) | $ | (1,201 | ) | $ | (4,080 | ) | $ | 10,105 | |||||||||||||

Total | $ | 1,930 | $ | 3,581 | $ | 9,443 | $ | 22,329 | ||||||||||||||||
The effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 was approximately 36% compared to approximately 35% for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. The higher effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 is primarily due to losses in certain foreign tax jurisdictions where the Company has not recorded a tax benefit. The Company is not certain that such benefits will be realized.
The effective tax rate for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 was approximately 35% compared to approximately 38% for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. The lower effective tax rate for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 relates to a favorable earnings mix between higher and lower tax jurisdictions.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company provides a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. This determination is made on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. The Company records a full valuation allowance against its net domestic deferred tax assets exclusive of indefinite lived intangible assets. The valuation allowance as of July 1, 2006 was $133,655, of which up to approximately $1,700 will provide an income statement benefit upon the realization of the deferred tax assets to which the valuation allowance applies and the remainder will be applied to reduce goodwill. The Company records a deferred tax liability related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. As of July 1, 2006, a deferred tax liability of $71,092 had been recorded related to indefinite-lived intangible assets.

In foreign jurisdictions, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $26,903, of which $7,208 will be recorded as an income statement benefit upon the realization of the deferred tax assets to which the valuation allowance applies and the remainder will be applied to reduce goodwill.
The Company is required to file tax returns in multiple domestic and foreign jurisdictions and these tax returns are subject to audit by taxing authorities. Taxing authorities may challenge the Company’s interpretation of tax law and additional tax may be assessed. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, ‘‘Accounting for Contingencies,’’ the Company accrues for all probable and estimable expenses related to income tax contingencies. The effective tax rate includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that the Company considers appropriate. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for income tax contingencies.
Under U.S. tax law, a company that realized cancellation of debt (‘‘COD’’) income while in bankruptcy is entitled to exclude such income from taxable income for U.S. tax reporting purposes. A company that excludes COD income will be required to reduce certain tax attributes in an amount equal to the COD income excluded from taxable income. If the attribute reduction is applied on a consolidated return basis, all of the Company's U.S. consolidated net operating loss (‘‘NOL’’) carryovers generated prior to fiscal 2004 would be eliminated and certain of its other U.S. tax attributes will be substantially reduced or eliminated. However, by applying the attribute reduction rules on a separate company basis, the Company retained U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $246,200 at the end of fiscal 2003. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company can use its NOL carryforwards to reduce U.S. taxable income, if any, by approximately $23,400 per year. There can be no assurance that the Company's position with respect to separate company attribute reduction will be sustained upon review by the Internal Revenue Service. Furthermore, the Company believes that as a result of the COD income, it can increase the annual limitation amount above due to the built-in gain rules under Section 382. There can be no assurance that the Company's position of treating the COD income as an item of built-in gain will be sustained upon review by the Internal Revenue Service, in which case certain losses and expenses generated during the five-year period after emergence will be subject to the annual limitation amount above. Any tax benefit from the utilization of consolidated U.S. net operating losses attributable to periods before emergence from bankruptcy will reduce either goodwill or other intangible assets when realized and will not affect the Company's future results of operations.
In August 2006, the Company received a ruling from the taxation authority in the Netherlands related to the Company’s operations in that region. The ruling will take effect retroactive to the beginning of 2006. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect of the ruling and anticipates that it will result in a reduction in its effective tax rate for the 2006 fiscal year.
Note 7—Employee Benefit and Retirement Plans
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
The Company follows SFAS No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions (‘‘SFAS 87’’), in regard to accounting for its defined benefit pension plan in the U.S. (‘‘Pension Plan’’). Pursuant to SFAS 87, each quarter the Company recognizes interest cost offset by the expected return on Pension Plan assets. In addition, the Company obtains a report from the Pension Plan actuary to measure Pension Plan assets and liabilities at year-end. The Company records the effect of actual gains and losses exceeding the expected return on Pension Plan assets and any other changes determined by the actuary (including changes in actuarial assumptions) in the fourth quarter of each year. This accounting results in volatility in pension expense or income; therefore, the Company reports pension

Senior Notes
On June 2, 2006, the Company purchased $5,000 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding $210,000 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2013 (‘‘Senior Notes’’) for total consideration of $5,200 in the open market. In connection with the purchase, the Company recognized a loss on the repurchase of debt of approximately $458, which included the recognition of approximately $258 of deferred financing costs. The loss on the repurchase is included in the Other loss (income) line item in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations.
Swap Agreements
As a result of the interest rate swap agreements entered into on September 18, 2003 (the ‘‘2003 Swap Agreement’’) and November 5, 2004 (the ‘‘2004 Swap Agreement’’), the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was 9.14% as of July 1, 2006, 8.87% as of December 31, 2005 and 8.49% as of July 2, 2005.
The fair value of the Company's outstanding interest rate swap agreements reflect the termination premium (unrealized loss) or termination discount (unrealized gain) that the Company would realize if such swaps were terminated on the valuation date. Since the provisions of the Company's 2003 Swap Agreement and 2004 Swap Agreement match the provisions of the Company's outstanding Senior Notes (the ‘‘hedged debt’’), changes in the fair value of the outstanding swaps do not have any effect on the Company's results of operations but are recorded in the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheets. Unrealized gains on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included in other assets with a corresponding increase in the hedged debt. Unrealized losses on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included as a component of long-term debt with a corresponding decrease in the hedged debt. The table below summarizes the fair value (unrealized loss) of the Company's outstanding swap agreements:

Revolving Credit Facility; Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On January 31, 2006, the Company’s Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility was amended and restated (the ‘‘Amended and Restated Credit Agreement’’) in connection with the closing of the CKJEA Acquisition to, among other things, add a $180,000 term loan facility (the ‘‘Term B Note’’) which was used to finance a portion of the CKJEA Acquisition. Generally, the loans under the Term B Note bear interest at either Citibank N.A.’s base rate plus 0.50% or at LIBOR plus 1.50%, in each case, on a per annum basis. As of July 1, 2006, the weighted average interest rate for the loans outstanding under the Term B Note was 7.02%. The Term B Note matures on January 31, 2013 and must be repaid at the rate of $450 per quarter from June 30, 2006 through March 31, 2012 and $42,300 on each of June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012, December 31, 2012 and January 31, 2013. Loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be required to be repaid upon the occurrence of certain events, including certain types of asset sales, insurance recoveries, and issuances of debt. In addition, the Term B Note requires Warnaco to repay the Term B Note principal in amounts equal to 25% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), if any, subject to certain conditions.

In addition to the amendments under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement relating to the Term B Note, on January 31, 2006, the Company also increased the revolving credit facility commitment under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to $225,000. The $225,000 revolving credit facility commitment under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement matures on February 3, 2009. The revolving credit facility includes a provision which allows Warnaco to increase the maximum available borrowings under the revolving credit facility from $225,000 to $375,000. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at Citibank N.A.’s base rate plus 0.5% (8.75% at July 1, 2006 and 7.75% at December 31, 2005) or at LIBOR plus 1.5% (approximately 6.98% and 6.04% at July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively), in each case, on a per annum basis. The rates of interest payable on outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility may change based on the Company’s financial ratios. Warnaco enters into contracts to elect the LIBOR option when it expects borrowings to be outstanding for more than 30 days. The remaining balances bear interest based upon Citibank N.A.’s base rate. The revolving credit facility contains financial covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio above a minimum level and a leverage ratio below a maximum level and limit the amount of the Company’s capital expenditures. In addition, the revolving credit facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit investments and asset sales, prohibit the payment of dividends (subject to limited exceptions) and limit the incurrence of material additional indebtedness. As part of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, certain covenants were modified, including financial covenants and the covenants relating to indebtedness, acquisitions, asset sales and investments. Further, certain terms and conditions under which an Event of Default (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) may be declared were amended.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is guaranteed by Warnaco Group and its domestic subsidiaries (other than Warnaco) and the obligations under such guaranty, together with Warnaco’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, are secured by a lien for the benefit of the lenders on substantially all of the assets of Warnaco Group and its domestic subsidiaries.
As of July 1, 2006, under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company had $179,550 outstanding under the Term B Note and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of July 1, 2006, the Company had approximately $132,662 available credit under the revolving credit facility comprised of the $213,992 maximum available credit (based upon the current borrowing base calculations), less outstanding letters of credit of approximately $131,746, plus approximately $50,416 of cash collateral.
As discussed in Note 18 and Part II — Item 5. Other Information, the Company will be restating its consolidated financial statements for Fourth Quarter 2005, Fiscal 2005 and for the First Quarter 2006. As a result of the restatements, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants (related to the timely delivery and accuracy of annual and monthly financial statements) of its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at July 1, 2006. On August 15, 2006, the Company obtained a thirty-day waiver of the relevant covenants from the lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company expects that it will be in full compliance with all covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement before the waiver expires.
The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Senior Notes as of July 1, 2006, December 31, 2005 and July 2, 2005.
As of July 1, 2006, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had no borrowings under the $25,000 revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the ‘‘Foreign Revolving Credit Facility’’). The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility as of July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

From time to time, the Company is involved in arbitrations or legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business.

Currently, the Company is not involved in any arbitration and/or legal proceeding that it expects to have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or business.
SEC Inquiry
On August 8, 2006, the Company announced that it would restate its previously reported financial statements for Fourth Quarter 2005, Fiscal 2005 and First Quarter 2006. The restatements were required as a result of certain irregularities discovered by the Company during the Company's second quarter closing review and certain other errors. The irregularities primarily relate to the accounting for certain returns and customer allowances at the Company's Chaps® menswear division. These matters were reported to the Company's Audit Committee, which engaged outside counsel, who in turn retained independent forensic accountants, to investigate and report to the Audit Committee. Based on information obtained in that investigation, and also to correct for an error which resulted from the implementation of the Company's new systems infrastructure at its Swimwear Group in First Quarter 2006, and certain immaterial errors, the Audit Committee accepted management's recommendation that the Company restate its financial statements.
In connection with the restatements, the Company contacted the SEC staff to inform them of the restatements and the Company's related investigation. The SEC staff subsequently notified the Company that it was initiating an informal inquiry with respect to such matters. The Company intends to cooperate fully with the SEC in its informal inquiry.

Note 18—Restatement
Subsequent to the issuance of its consolidated condensed financial statements for the First Quarter 2006, the Company discovered certain irregularities in the accounting for certain return authorizations and customer allowances in its Chaps menswear division. In addition, the Company identified errors resulting from the implementation of the Swimwear Group's new systems infrastructure resulting in an overstatement of revenues and accounts receivable in the First Quarter 2006. The Company also identified other errors primarily related to accrued expenses and intercompany transactions that individually are not significant to the financial statements.
As a result, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements for Fiscal 2005 have been restated from the amounts previously reported. The Company intends to file an Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for Fiscal 2005 and an Amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for First Quarter 2006 with the SEC as soon as practicable.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
The Warnaco Group, Inc. (‘‘Warnaco Group’’ and, collectively with its subsidiaries, the ‘‘Company’’) is subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause its future results of operations to differ materially from its historical results of operations and those expected in the future or that could affect the value of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the ‘‘Common Stock’’). Except for the historical information contained herein, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the following discussion, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See ‘‘Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure.’’
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is a summary and should be read in conjunction with: (i) the consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes thereto which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; (ii) the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (‘‘Fiscal 2005’’); and (iii) the Company's Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for Fiscal 2005 (which the Company expects to file as soon as practicable). As discussed below and in Note 18 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and Part II—Item 5. Other Information, subsequent to the issuance of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly period ended April 1, 2006 (‘‘First Quarter 2006’’), the Company discovered irregularities primarily in the accounting for certain return authorizations and customer allowances at its Chaps menswear division and also identified an error which surfaced subsequent to the implementation of its new systems infrastructure at its Swimwear Group. As a result, and to correct certain immaterial errors, the Company will be restating its consolidated financial statements for certain periods as described below under Restatement. The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations gives effect to these restatements. As soon as practicable, the Company will be amending its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2005 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the First Quarter 2006 for the related effects of these restatements.
The period April 2, 2006 to July 1, 2006 (the ‘‘Three Months Ended July 1, 2006’’) and the period April 3, 2005 to July 2, 2005 (the ‘‘Three Months Ended July 2, 2005’’) both contained thirteen weeks of operations. The period January 1, 2006 to July 1, 2006 (the ‘‘Six Months Ended July 1, 2006’’) and the period January 2, 2005 to July 2, 2005 (the ‘‘Six Months Ended July 2, 2005’’) both contained twenty-six weeks of operations. References to ‘‘Core Brands’’ refer to the Intimate Apparel Group’s Warner's®, Olga®, and Body Nancy Ganz™/Bodyslimmers® brand names. References to ‘‘Fashion Brands’’ refer to the Intimate Apparel Group’s Lejaby®, Axcelerate Engineered by Speedo™ (‘‘Axcelerate’’) and J. Lo by Jennifer Lopez® (‘‘JLO’’) brand names. References to ‘‘Designer’’ refer to the Swimwear Group’s fashion brands, including Cole of California®, Catalina®, Anne Cole®, Lifeguard®, Nautica®, Calvin Klein® and Michael Kors®. References to ‘‘Retail’’ within each operating Group refer to the Company’s owned full price free standing stores, owned outlet stores, ‘‘shop-in-shop’’ stores and on-line stores.
Restatement
As noted above, during the course of completing its second quarter review process for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006, the Company discovered certain irregularities. The Company reported these matters to its Audit Committee, which engaged outside counsel, who in turn retained forensic accountants, to investigate and report to the Audit Committee. Based upon the information obtained in that investigation and also to correct for an error which resulted from the implementation of the Company's new systems infrastructure at its Swimwear Group in the First Quarter 2006, and certain immaterial errors, the Audit Committee accepted management’s recommendation that the Company restate its financial statements for the period October 2, 2005 to December 31, 2005 (‘‘Fourth Quarter 2005’’), Fiscal 2005 and the First Quarter 2006. See Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Part II—Item 4. Controls and Procedures and Item 5. Other Information.
As a result of the irregularities in the accounting for certain return authorizations and customer allowances, the Company’s net revenues were overstated by $3.3 million (a $2.1 million overstatement of income from continuing operations, net of income taxes of $1.2 million) in the Fourth Quarter 2005
36
and Fiscal 2005. For the First Quarter 2006, the Company’s net revenues were overstated by $2.0 million and cost of goods sold was overstated by $0.4 million (aggregating to a net overstatement of $1.0 million of income from continuing operations, net of income taxes of $0.5 million).
The error, discovered subsequent to the implementation of the Swimwear Group’s new systems infrastructure, resulted in an overstatement of net revenues and accounts receivable of $1.5 million (an overstatement of $1.0 million of income from continuing operations, net of income taxes of $0.5 million) in the First Quarter 2006.
Additionally, during the normal course of finalizing its financial statements, the Company identified certain errors that, individually and in the aggregate, are not material to its financial statements taken as a whole for either the current or any prior period but are being corrected as part of the restatements. The correction of these immaterial errors resulted in a decrease in income from continuing operations from the amount originally reported of $0.4 million (net of income tax benefit of $0.3 million) for the Fourth Quarter 2006 and Fiscal 2005 and a decrease in income from continuing operations from the amount originally reported of $0.3 million (net of income tax benefit of $0.1 million) for the First Quarter 2006.
The Company intends to file an Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for Fiscal 2005 and an Amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the First Quarter 2006 with the SEC as soon as practicable. Until these restated financial statements are filed with the SEC, neither the Company’s consolidated financial statements for Fiscal 2005 and the related reports of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements for the First Quarter 2006, should be relied upon.
Overview
The Company designs, sources, manufactures, markets, licenses and distributes intimate apparel, sportswear and swimwear worldwide through a broad line of highly recognized brand names. The Company's products are distributed to wholesale customers through multiple distribution channels, including major department stores, independent retailers, membership clubs, chain stores, specialty and other stores and mass merchandisers. As of July 1, 2006, the Company also operated 489 Calvin Klein retail stores worldwide (consisting of 291 stores directly operated by the Company, including one on-line store, and 198 stores operated under retail licenses or distributor agreements). As of July 1, 2006, the Company’s Swimwear Group also operated three Speedo® outlet stores and one on-line store. On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired (the ‘‘CKJEA Acquisition’’) 100% of the shares of the companies that operate the wholesale and retail businesses of Calvin Klein jeanswear and accessories in Europe and Asia and the CK Calvin Klein ‘‘bridge’’ line of sportswear and accessories in Europe (the ‘‘CKJEA Business’’). See ‘‘CKJEA Acquisition’’ below and Notes 2 and 11 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The Company continues to plan for its long-term growth and profitability by investing in its operating platform and infrastructure. During the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006, the Company implemented a new enterprise-wide computer software platform encompassing finance, sales and distribution and materials management (referred to in this report as the ‘‘new systems infrastructure’’) in both its Swimwear Group and certain corporate shared services departments. During the First Quarter 2006, the Company experienced difficulties related to the implementation of the new systems infrastructure in its Swimwear Group which negatively affected its ability to ship products within customer requested delivery windows and, as described above, contributed to errors requiring restatement of the Company's financial statements. The Company believes it has since resolved these problems associated with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure and does not expect that these problems will negatively affect its ability to invoice and ship product on a timely basis in the future. Moreover, the Company believes that this enterprise software solution, once fully implemented, will enable management to better and more efficiently gather, analyze and assess information worldwide.
For the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006, the Company's Intimate Apparel Group and its newly acquired CKJEA Business performed well; however, this was more than offset by declines in the
37
Swimwear Group (where disruptions caused by the implementation of the new systems infrastructure negatively affected shipping during the First Quarter 2006) and declines in the Company's other Sportswear Group businesses. The decline in the Sportswear Group primarily reflects a $17.6 million decrease in sales to membership clubs (which the Company believes is primarily due to a timing shift in sales to customers in the membership clubs distribution channel from the first half of 2006 to the second half of 2006) combined with an increase of $9.9 million in allowances granted to customers in the Chaps business (which the Company believes is the result of an unfavorable reception of certain product offerings at retail).
The Company has identified many near-term opportunities for growth and operational improvement, as well as challenges and uncertainties relating to certain of its businesses. In particular, management believes that there are many factors influencing the manufacturing and procurement business cycle of the apparel industry, including, but not limited to, uncertainty surrounding ongoing import restrictions (including recently established limits on imports of certain apparel from China) or other legislative action to control the free flow of trade, overall deflation in the selling prices of apparel products and consolidation of the Company’s retail customers. See ‘‘Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure.’’ The Company will continue to address these and other challenges by, among other things, seeking to: (i) improve its procurement process and identify and utilize lower cost, high quality reliable sourcing partners; (ii) focus on operational controls and efficiency by continuing its investment in its infrastructure; (iii) develop and invest in its portfolio of desirable brands while maintaining a diverse product offering at competitive price points across multiple channels of distribution; (iv) expand its product offerings with existing customers; (v) introduce new products in new channels of distribution; and (vi) identify strategic acquisition opportunities.
On July 11, 2006, the Company announced the election of Nancy A. Reardon to the Board of Directors. Ms. Reardon is the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources and Communications Officer at Campbell Soup Company. With the addition of Ms. Reardon, eight of the nine directors of the Company are independent.
CKJEA Acquisition
On January 31, 2006, the Company acquired the CKJEA Business for total consideration of approximately €240 million (approximately $292 million). See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The Company funded the acquisition using a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under a new $180 million term loan facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below). See ‘‘—FinancialPosition, Capital Resources and Liquidity— Financing Arrangements.’’
Financial and Operating Highlights
Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended July 2, 2005
Net revenues increased $76.9 million, or 20.5%, to $451.6 million for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 as compared to $374.7 million for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005, reflecting a $47.6 million increase in Sportswear net revenues, a $9.8 million increase in Intimate Apparel net revenues and a $19.5 million increase in Swimwear net revenues. Net revenues related to the CKJEA Business (included in the Sportswear Group) were $63.7 million. Excluding net revenues related to the CKJEA Business, net revenues increased $13.2 million, or 3.5%, to $387.9 million, for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 as compared to $374.7 million for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. The increase in Intimate Apparel Group net revenues primarily reflects the expansion of Calvin Klein underwear into the membership clubs distribution channel and strength of new product launches of 365 and Perfectly Fit, combined with the continued momentum of Warner’s and the ongoing expansion of the Calvin Klein underwear retail business. Swimwear Group net revenues increased for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005 mainly due to increases in Speedo and Designer primarily reflecting the recovery of shipments delayed in the First Quarter 2006 (due to shipping disruptions related to the implementation of a new systems
38
infrastructure) combined with an increase in sales in the membership clubs and off-price channels. Net revenues for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 in the Sportswear Group (excluding the CKJEA Business) declined $16.1 million compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. The decline in the Sportswear Group primarily reflects a $5.8 million decrease in sales to membership clubs (which the Company believes is primarily due to a timing shift in sales to customers in the membership clubs distribution channel from the first half of 2006 to the second half of 2006) combined with an increase of $7.5 million in allowances granted to customers in the Chaps business (which the Company believes is the result of an unfavorable reception of certain product offerings at retail). In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the net weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $2.5 million increase in net revenues for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005.
Gross profit was $158.4 million, or 35.1% of net revenues (including $35.2 million in gross profit related to the CKJEA Business), for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to $113.0 million, or 30.2% of net revenues, for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. The 490 basis point improvement in gross profit margin primarily reflects improvements in the Intimate Apparel and Swimwear Groups' gross profit margin combined with strong gross profit margins of the CKJEA Business, partially offset by declines in Chaps gross margin due to a $7.5 million increase in sales allowances. In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the net weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $1.0 million increase in gross profit for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005.
Selling, general and administrative (‘‘SG&A’’) expenses were $140.4 million (31.1% of net revenues) for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to $95.3 million (25.4% of net revenues) for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. Contributing to the increase in SG&A expenses was $33.7 million of SG&A expenses related to the CKJEA Business. Excluding the SG&A expenses for the CKJEA Business, SG&A expenses for the operating segments increased $8.9 million and unallocated corporate expenses increased $2.5 million. The increase in SG&A expenses for the operating segments primarily reflects an increase of $2.0 in the Intimate Apparel Group (primarily variable selling expenses related to the increased sales volume), an increase of $0.6 million in the Sportswear Group and an increase of $6.3 million in the Swimwear Group (primarily related to continued investment in the Company’s Ocean Pacific brands, expenses associated with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure and increased marketing and severance expenses). The increase in unallocated corporate expenses primarily reflects a $1.4 million increase in stock-based compensation, $1.6 million of incremental information technology expenses and other costs primarily associated with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure, partially offset by a reduction in all other items, net, of approximately $0.5 million. In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the net weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $0.4 million increase in SG&A expenses for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005.
Amortization of intangible assets increased from $1.1 million for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005 to $4.0 million for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 due primarily to an increase in amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition of the CKJEA Business.
Operating income for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 was $14.0 million (3.1% of net revenues), including $1.0 million of operating loss from the CKJEA Business (including $2.6 million of amortization expense related to intangible assets and approximately $1.1 million related to the recognition of cost of sales as a result of the inventory write-up to fair value in connection with the CKJEA Acquisition), compared to $15.6 million (4.2% of net revenues) for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. Excluding the operating loss associated with the CKJEA Business, operating income decreased $0.6 million, primarily reflecting strength in the Intimate Apparel Group’s Calvin Klein underwear business and improved profitability in the U.S. Core Brands, more than offset by the
39
timing of Calvin Klein jeans shipments to the membership clubs channel of distribution, higher expenses in the Swimwear Group, and an increase in customer allowances in the Chaps division. In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the net weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $0.6 million increase in operating income for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005.
Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Six Months Ended July 2, 2005
Net revenues increased $100.1 million, or 12.3%, to $914.4 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to $814.2 million for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005, reflecting a $85.1 million increase in Sportswear net revenues, a $11.7 million increase in Intimate Apparel net revenues and a $3.3 million increase in Swimwear net revenues. Net revenues related to the CKJEA Business (included in the Sportswear Group) were $124.1 million. Excluding net revenues related to the CKJEA Business, net revenues decreased $24.0 million, or 2.9%, for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. Intimate Apparel Group net revenues increased for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 primarily reflecting the continued momentum of Warner’s, the growth of Calvin Klein underwear in Asia and the ongoing expansion of the Calvin Klein underwear retail business. Swimwear Group net revenues increased for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 (due primarily to increases in Ocean Pacific) despite shipping disruptions and order cancellations experienced in the First Quarter 2006 related to the implementation of a new systems infrastructure. Net revenues in the Sportswear Group (excluding the CKJEA Business) declined compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. The decline in the Sportswear Group primarily reflects a $17.6 million decrease in sales to membership clubs (which the Company believes is primarily due to a timing shift in sale to customers in the membership clubs distribution channel from the first half of 2006 to the second half of 2006) combined with an increase of $9.9 million in allowances granted to customers in the Chaps business (which the Company believes is the result of an unfavorable reception of certain product offerings at retail). In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the net strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $1.9 million decrease in net revenues for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005.
Gross profit was $329.8 million, or 36.1%, of net revenues (including $69.5 million in gross profit related to the CKJEA Business) for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to $270.0 million, or 33.2% of net revenues, for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. The 290 basis point improvement in gross profit margin primarily reflects improvements in the Intimate Apparel Group’s Core Brands gross profit margin combined with strong gross profit margins of the CKJEA Business, partially offset by a decrease in the Swimwear Group’s gross profit margin and a decrease in the Sportswear Group’s (excluding the CKJEA Business) gross margin (due mainly to an increase in customer allowances in the Chaps division). In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the net strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $1.5 million decrease in gross profit for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005.
SG&A expenses were $277.2 million (30.3% of net revenues) for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to $198.2 million (24.3% of net revenues) for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. Contributing to the increase in SG&A expenses was $59.5 million of SG&A expenses related to the CKJEA Business. Excluding the SG&A expenses for the CKJEA Business, SG&A expenses for the operating segments increased $18.1 million and unallocated corporate expenses increased $1.4 million. The increase in SG&A expenses for the operating segments primarily reflects an increase of $5.2 in the Intimate Apparel Group (primarily variable selling expenses related to the increased sales volume), an increase of $0.4 million in the Sportswear Group and an increase of $12.5 million in the Swimwear Group (primarily related to continued investment in the Company’s Ocean Pacific brand, expenses associated with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure,
40
Speedo’s new national advertising campaign and severance expenses. The increase in unallocated corporate expenses primarily reflects a $1.6 million increase in stock-based compensation and $2.4 million of incremental information technology expenses and other costs primarily associated with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure, partially offset by a $1.1 million reduction in professional fees and a reduction in all other items, net, of approximately $1.5 million. In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the net strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $1.5 million decrease in SG&A expenses for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005.
Amortization of intangible assets increased from $2.1 million for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 to $7.5 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006, primarily due to an increase in amortization expense related to the finite-lived intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition of the CKJEA Business.
Operating income for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 was $45.2 million (4.9% of net revenues), including $5.0 million of operating income from the CKJEA Business (including $4.6 million of amortization expense related to intangible assets and $2.4 million related to the recognition of cost of sales as a result of the inventory write-up to fair value in connection with the CKJEA Acquisition), compared to $68.5 million (8.4% of net revenues) for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. Excluding the operating income associated with the CKJEA Business, operating income decreased $28.3 million, primarily reflecting strength in the Intimate Apparel Group, more than offset by the net effects of the challenges in the Swimwear Group, ongoing investment in Ocean Pacific, the timing of shipments to the membership clubs channel of distribution and an increase in customer allowances in the Sportswear Group compared to the prior year. In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the net strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $0.1 million decrease in operating income for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005.
Accounts receivable increased $74.5 million from $204.2 million at July 2, 2005 to $278.7 million at July 1, 2006. The majority of the increase reflects the CKJEA Business’ accounts receivable of $55.5 million as of July 1, 2006, an increase of $16.5 million in the Swimwear Group (primarily related to the timing of Swimwear shipments which occurred in the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 while comparable shipments (in Fiscal 2005) occurred during the first quarter of 2005), a decrease of $2.7 million in the Sportswear Group (excluding the CKJEA Business) (primarily reflecting reserves related to unfavorable allowance experience in the Chaps division) and an increase of $5.2 million across all other businesses.
Accounts receivable increased $68.5 million from $210.2 million at December 31, 2005 to $278.7 million at July 1, 2006. The majority of the increase reflects the CKJEA Business’ accounts receivable of $55.5 million as of July 1, 2006, an increase of $13.5 million in the Swimwear Group (reflecting the seasonality of sales of swimwear products), a decrease of $2.9 million in the Sportswear Group (excluding the CKJEA Business) and an increase of $2.4 million across all other businesses.
Inventories increased $33.7 million from $277.3 million at July 2, 2005 to $311.0 million at July 1, 2006. The increase reflects the CKJEA Business’ inventories of $44.6 million as of July 1, 2006, a $6.5 million increase in Swimwear Group inventories (primarily as a result of lower than anticipated sales during the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 and earlier receipts of product for the new selling season) and a $2.5 million increase in Intimate Apparel Group inventories, partially offset by declines of $19.9 million in the Sportswear Group inventories (excluding the CKJEA Business). The declines in Sportswear inventories (excluding the CKJEA Business) primarily reflects a decrease in the level of Chaps inventories due primarily to better timing of receipt of shipments.
Inventories decreased $15.0 million from $326.0 million at December 31, 2005 to $311.0 million at July 1, 2006. The July 1, 2006 inventory balance includes $44.6 million for the CKJEA Business. Excluding the CKJEA Business inventory, inventories decreased $59.6 million from December 31, 2005 to July 1, 2006. The decrease reflects a $61.5 million decrease in Swimwear Group inventories
41
(reflecting the seasonal shipment of swimwear products) combined with an $8.7 million decrease in Sportswear Group inventories (excluding the CKJEA Business), partially offset by a $10.6 million increase in Intimate Apparel Group inventories (reflecting an intentional build up of inventories to achieve better fulfillment rates with customers and expected increases in sales based upon current trends).
Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (‘‘US GAAP’’) requires the Company to use judgment in making certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in its consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes.
Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and require difficult, subjective and complex judgments by management in order to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2005, the Company's most critical accounting policies pertain to revenue recognition; cost of goods sold; accounts receivable; inventories; long-lived assets; goodwill and other intangible assets; income taxes; pension plans; stock-based compensation; advertising costs; and restructuring expense (income). In applying such policies, management must record income and expense amounts that are based upon informed judgments and best estimates. Because of the uncertainty inherent in these estimates, actual results could differ from estimates used in applying the critical accounting policies. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate future information, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Management is not aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances which would result in different amounts being reported that would materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains reserves for estimated amounts that the Company does not expect to collect from its trade customers. Accounts receivable reserves include amounts the Company expects its customers to deduct for returns, allowances, trade discounts, amounts for accounts that go out of business or seek the protection of the Bankruptcy Code and amounts related to charges in dispute with customers. The Company's estimate of the allowance amounts that are necessary includes amounts for specific deductions the Company has authorized and an amount for other estimated losses. Adjustments for specific account allowances and negotiated settlements of customer deductions are recorded as deductions to revenue in the period the specific adjustment is identified. The provision for accounts receivable allowances is affected by general economic conditions, the financial condition of the Company's customers, the inventory position of the Company's customers and many other factors. The determination of accounts receivable reserves is subject to significant levels of judgment and estimation by the Company's management. If circumstances change or economic conditions deteriorate, the Company may need to increase the reserve significantly. As of July 1, 2006, December 31, 2005 and July 2, 2005, the Company recorded $77.3 million, $51.4 million and $55.2 million, respectively, of accounts receivable reserves. The $25.9 million increase in accounts receivable reserves from December 31, 2005 to July 1, 2006 reflects a $12.9 million, $8.2 million and $4.9 million increase in the Sportswear, Swimwear and Intimate Apparel Groups respectively. The increase in the Sportswear Group’s accounts receivable reserves primarily reflects $7.7 million related to the CKJEA business and an increase of $5.2 million related to the Chaps business. The increase in the Swimwear Group’s accounts receivable reserves is primarily related to the seasonal nature of the swim business.
Inventories
The Company records purchases of inventory when it assumes title and the risk of loss. The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market.
42
The Company evaluates its inventories to determine excess units or slow-moving styles based upon quantities on hand, orders in house and expected future orders. For those items for which the Company believes it has an excess supply or for styles or colors that are obsolete, the Company estimates the net amount that it expects to realize from the sale of such items. The Company's objective is to recognize projected inventory losses at the time the loss is evident rather than when the goods are ultimately sold. The Company's calculation of the reduction in carrying value necessary for the disposition of excess inventory is highly dependent on its projections of future sales of those products and the prices it is able to obtain for such products. The Company reviews its inventory position monthly and adjusts its carrying value for excess or obsolete goods based on revised projections and current market conditions for the disposition of excess and obsolete inventory. If economic conditions worsen, the Company may have to decrease its carrying value of excess or obsolete goods substantially.
The Company has identified inventory having a carrying value of approximately $34.0 million as potentially excess and/or obsolete at July 1, 2006 (including approximately $11.2 million related to the CKJEA business) compared to inventory having a carrying value of approximately $58.6 million as potentially excess and/or obsolete at December 31, 2005. Adjustments to reduce the carrying value of excess and/or obsolete inventory to estimated net realizable value totaled $67.1 million (including approximately $22.6 million related to the CKJEA business) at July 1, 2006 compared to $19.4 million at December 31, 2005. Adjustments to reduce the carrying value of excess inventory to net realizable value reflect the mix of inventory and historical realization rates for the sales of goods by type and location.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the amount by which the Company's reorganization value exceeded the fair value of its tangible assets and identified intangible assets less its liabilities allocated in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 141, Business Combinations (‘‘SFAS 141’’) as of February 4, 2003 and, for transactions subsequent to February 4, 2003, the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (‘‘SFAS 142’’), goodwill is not amortized and is subject to an annual impairment test which the Company performs in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are either the operating segment or one reporting level below the operating segment. As of July 1, 2006, the Company's reporting units for purposes of applying the provisions of SFAS 142 are: Warner's/Olga/Body Nancy Ganz/Bodyslimmers, Calvin Klein underwear, Lejaby, Calvin Klein jeans, Chaps, Swimwear (excluding OP) and OP. SFAS 142 requires the Company to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount on an annual basis to determine if there is potential impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the implied fair value of the goodwill within the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair values for goodwill are determined based on discounted cash flows, market multiples or appraised values, as appropriate.
Intangible assets primarily consist of licenses and trademarks. The fair value of such licenses and trademarks owned by the Company at February 4, 2003 was based upon the appraised values of such assets as determined by the Company and an independent third party appraiser. Licenses and trademarks in existence at February 4, 2003 are recorded at their fair values net of accumulated amortization since February 4, 2003. Licenses and trademarks acquired after February 4, 2003 are recorded at cost. The majority of the Company's license and trademark agreements cover periods of time of approximately forty years. The estimates and assumptions used in the determination of the value of indefinite-lived intangible assets will not have an effect on the Company's future earnings unless a future evaluation of trademark or license value indicates that such asset is impaired. Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 142, intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized and are subject to an annual impairment test which the Company performs in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company also tests its intangible assets more frequently than annually if events or changes in
43
circumstance indicate that an asset may be impaired. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value (determined based on discounted cash flows), an impairment loss is recognized. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company reviews its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a finite-lived intangible asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a finite-lived intangible asset is measured by a comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, which is determined based on discounted cash flows. See Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The Company did not identify any impairments of goodwill or intangible assets for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 or the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005.

Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended July 2, 2005
Net revenues in the Sportswear Group increased $47.5 million, or 39.6% for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. Excluding net revenues of $63.7 million related to the CKJEA Business (See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements), net revenues in the Sportswear Group declined $16.2 million for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. The decline in the Sportswear Group primarily reflects a $5.8 million decrease in sales to membership clubs (which the Company believes is primarily due to a timing shift in sale to customers in the membership clubs distribution channel from the first half of 2006 to the second half of 2006) combined with an increase of $7.5 million in allowances granted to customers in the Chaps business (which the Company believes is the result of an unfavorable reception of certain product offerings at retail).
Calvin Klein jeans net revenues increased $21.9 million for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. Included in the Calvin Klein jeans net revenues for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 are $25.9 million related to the acquisition of the CKJEA Business. Excluding the net revenues of the CKJEA Business, Calvin Klein jeans net revenues decreased $4.0 million. The decrease reflects a decline in domestic sales from $61.8 million for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005 to $53.7 million for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006, partially offset by a net increase of $4.0 million in Canada and Mexico. The decrease in net revenues in the U.S. reflects a decrease in sales to membership clubs ($5.8 million) and a reduction in sales to department stores ($3.3 million), partially offset by a net increase across all other channels of distribution ($1.0 million). The Company believes the decrease in sales to membership clubs primarily reflects the timing of shipments to the membership clubs channel of distribution which occurred in the first half of Fiscal 2005, while comparable shipments are expected to occur in the second half of fiscal 2006. The Company believes the decrease in department store net revenues was primarily attributable to the effect of door closures as a result of the consolidation among certain of the Company’s larger customers such as Federated Department Stores, Inc. and The May Department Store Company.
46
Chaps net revenues decreased $8.8 million for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. The decrease reflects declines of $8.6 million and $0.7 million in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in Mexico. The decrease in the U.S. from $40.8 million for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005 to $32.2 million for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 reflects a $0.3 million decrease in net sales to chain stores, a $1.9 million decrease in net sales to customers in the off-price channel of distribution, a $4.4 million decrease in department store net revenues and a net decrease of $2.0 million across all other channels of distribution. The decrease in net sales to chain stores and department stores primarily reflects an increase in customer allowances of $7.5 million. The decrease in off-price sales was due primarily to a decrease in excess and obsolete inventory available for this channel. The increase in net revenues in Mexico primarily reflects increased sales to membership clubs.
Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Six Months Ended July 2, 2005
Net revenues in the Sportswear Group increased $85.1 million, or 34.0%, for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. Excluding net revenues of $124.1 million related to the CKJEA Business, net revenues in the Sportswear Group declined $39.0 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 primarily reflecting (i) a decline in certain sportswear sales which the Company believes is the result of a timing shift in sales to the membership clubs channel of distribution from the first half of 2006 into the second half of 2006; (ii) unfavorable allowance experience (primarily in the Chaps division); and (iii) a decrease related to the expiration of the Calvin Klein accessories license in Europe on December 31, 2005.
Calvin Klein jeans net revenues increased $37.2 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. Included in the Calvin Klein jeans net revenues for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 are $56.0 million related to the acquisition of the CKJEA Business. Excluding the net revenues from the CKJEA Business, Calvin Klein jeans net revenues decreased $18.8 million, due to a decrease in domestic sales from $127.5 million for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 to $104.7 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006, partially offset by a net increase of $4.0 million in Canada and Mexico. The decrease in net revenues in the U.S. primarily reflects a decrease in sales to membership clubs ($17.6 million), a planned decrease in sales to customers in the off-price channel ($5.0 million) and a decrease in sales to department stores ($2.7 million), partially offset by a net increase across all other channels of distribution ($2.5 million). The decrease in sales to membership clubs primarily reflects the timing of shipments to the membership clubs channel of distribution which occurred in the first half of Fiscal 2005, while comparable shipments are expected to occur in the second half of fiscal 2006.
Chaps net revenues decreased $11.8 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. The decrease reflects declines of $12.1 million and $1.1 million in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in Mexico. The decrease in the U.S. from $82.4 million for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 to $70.3 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006, reflects a $1.1 million decrease in net sales to chain stores, a $4.7 million decrease in net sales to customers in the off-price channel of distribution, a decrease of $4.3 million in department stores and a net decrease of $2.0 million across all other channels of distribution. The decrease in net revenues to chain stores and department stores primarily reflects an increase in customer allowances of $9.9 million. The decrease in off-price reflects the combination of a decrease in excess and obsolete inventory available for this channel and a decrease in specific customer ‘‘special cut’’ orders. The increase in net revenues in Mexico primarily reflects increased sales to membership clubs.

Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended July 2, 2005
Intimate Apparel Group net revenues increased $9.8 million, or 6.9%, for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005, primarily reflecting the expansion of Calvin Klein underwear into the membership clubs distribution channel and strength of new product launches of 365 and Perfectly Fit, combined with the continued momentum of Warner’s and the ongoing expansion of the Calvin Klein underwear retail business.
The increase in Calvin Klein underwear reflects a $6.2 million increase in the U.S., a $0.8 million increase in Canada and a net $0.1 million increase in Europe and Mexico, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in Asia. The increase in the U.S. was primarily due to a $5.1 million increase in net sales to membership clubs due to expansion into this channel during the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006, an increase in net sales to department stores ($4.9 million), a planned decrease in sales to customers in the off-price channel ($5.4 million) and a net increase in all other channels of distribution ($1.6 million). The decrease in Asia primarily reflects an increase of $0.7 million related to the Company’s continuing expansion efforts in this region, more than offset by the elimination of $1.0 million of intercompany sales to the recently acquired CKJEA Business. Sales of Calvin Klein underwear products by the CKJEA Business are included in the Sportswear Group’s net revenues. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The increase in Core Brands net revenues primarily reflects increases of $0.3 million in the U.S. and $0.5 million in Mexico. The increase in the U.S. primarily reflects a $2.0 million (or 13.2%) increase in sales of Warner’s and a net $0.8 million increase in Body Nancy Ganz/Bodyslimmers and private label net revenues, partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in Olga. The decrease in Olga primarily reflects an increase in net revenues related to the recent launch of the new Olga Christina line in department stores in June 2006, more than offset by decreases across other Olga lines and decreases in off-price sales.
The decrease in Fashion Brands net revenues reflects a $2.2 million decrease in the Company’s JLO brand, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in the private label business (initial private label shipments were recorded in December 2005). The decrease in the JLO business reflects reduced distribution and a narrower assortment focused on sleepwear.
The increase in Intimate Apparel retail primarily reflects a combined $3.2 million increase in Europe and Asia reflecting the Company’s continuing expansion efforts in these regions combined with an average 12% increase in same store sales in Asia.
Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Six Months Ended July 2, 2005
Intimate Apparel Group net revenues increased $11.8 million, or 4.0%, for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 primarily reflecting the continued
48
momentum of Warner’s, the growth in Calvin Klein underwear in Asia and the ongoing expansion of the Calvin Klein underwear retail business.
The increase in Calvin Klein underwear net revenues reflects a $0.8 million increase in Canada, a $0.8 million increase in Europe and a combined $0.8 million increase in the U.S. and Mexico, partially offset by an $0.8 million decrease in Asia. The decrease in Asia primarily reflects an increase of $1.6 million related to the Company’s continuing expansion efforts in this region, more than offset by the elimination of $2.4 million of intercompany sales to the recently acquired CKJEA Business. Sales of Calvin Klein underwear products by the CKJEA Business are included in the Sportswear Group’s net revenues. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The increase in Core Brands net revenues primarily reflects increases of $3.0 million in the U.S., $0.8 million in Mexico and $0.1 million combined in Canada and Asia. The increase in the U.S. primarily reflects a $5.3 million (or 17.7%) increase in sales of Warner’s combined with a $1.8 million increase in Olga (primarily related to the launch of this brand into Sears in January 2006 and the launch of Olga’s Christina to department stores in June 2006) and a total $1.0 million increase in Body Nancy Ganz/Bodyslimmers and private label, partially offset by a $5.1 million decline in sales to membership clubs.
The decrease in Fashion Brands net revenues reflects a $3.1 million decrease in the JLO business, partially offset by a $1.9 million and $0.5 million increase in the Company’s private label and Speedo underwear businesses, respectively. The decrease in the JLO business reflects continuing weakness in the U.S. business (primarily related to reduced distribution and a narrower assortment focused on sleepwear), partially offset by increases in the European business. The Company commenced shipments related to its Fashion Brands private label business in December 2005.
The increase in Intimate Apparel retail net revenues primarily reflects a $2.8 million increase in Asia and a $3.6 million increase in Europe reflecting the Company’s continuing expansion efforts in these regions combined with an average 19% increase in same store sales in Asia.

Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended July 2, 2005
Swimwear Group net revenues increased $19.5 million, or 17.6%, for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005 primarily related to the recovery of shipments delayed in the First Quarter 2006 (caused by disruptions associated with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure) combined with an increase in sales in the membership clubs and off-price channels. The Company estimates that net revenues associated with these recovered shipments (net of decreases in replenishment sales during the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 as a result of late or delayed deliveries in the First Quarter 2006) were approximately $3.0 million for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006.
The increase in Speedo net revenues of $10.6 million relates primarily to the abovementioned recovery of delayed shipments related to the new systems infrastructure ($6.0 million) and the expansion of the shoes and accessories lines into the clubs channel of distribution ($4.0 million).
49
The $7.3 million increase in Designer net revenues relates primarily to a $6.6 million increase in the off-price channel and a $2.9 million increase related to sales of new Designer brands (Calvin Klein and Michael Kors). These increases were partially offset by decreases in replenishment sales of approximately $3.0 million due to late/delayed deliveries of product in the First Quarter 2006.
The increase in Ocean Pacific primarily relates to sales of swimwear and active sportswear lines developed in Fiscal 2005 as part of the Company’s transition from a licensed business model to a direct wholesale business model.
Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Six Months Ended July 2, 2005
Swimwear Group net revenues increased $3.3 million, or 1.2%, for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 (due primarily to increases in Ocean Pacific) despite shipping disruptions and order cancellations experienced in the First Quarter 2006 related to the implementation of the new systems infrastructure.
The $1.2 million decrease in Speedo net revenues primarily reflects a decrease of $4.3 million related to the disruptions in connection with the new systems infrastructure (which negatively affected its ability to ship product in the First Quarter 2006 within customer requested delivery windows), partially offset by an increase of $3.4 million due to the expansion of the shoes and accessories lines into the clubs distribution channel. The Company believes it has resolved the problems associated with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure in the Swimwear Group and does not expect that these problems will negatively affect its ability to invoice and ship product on a timely basis in the future.
The $1.0 million decrease in Designer net revenues primarily reflects a decrease of $8.6 million related to the abovementioned new systems infrastructure implementation issues combined with a $7.5 million decrease in sales of Catalina branded products to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (which the Company attributes primarily to the reduction in floor space that Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. allocated for the sale of swimwear for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005) and a net $1.2 million decrease in branded and other lines, partially offset by an increase of approximately $7.1 million related to sales of new Designer brands (Calvin Klein and Michael Kors) and a $9.2 million increase in sales to customers in the off-price channels.
The increase in Ocean Pacific primarily relates to sales of swimwear and active lines developed in Fiscal 2005 as part of the Company’s transition from a licensed business model to a direct wholesale business model.

Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended July 2, 2005
Sportswear Group gross profit increased $27.2 million and gross margin increased 820 basis points. The majority of the increase reflects the inclusion of gross profit of $35.2 million (including
50
$1.1 million related to the recognition of cost of sales as a result of the inventory write-up to fair value in connection with the CKJEA Acquisition) related to the CKJEA Business. Excluding the effects of the CKJEA Business, gross profit decreased $8.0 million and gross margin decreased 330 basis points. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin primarily reflect the decrease in net revenues discussed previously and the increase in customer allowances in the Chaps business.
Intimate Apparel Group gross profit increased $12.1 million, or 24.0%, and gross margin increased 560 basis points. The increase in gross profit and gross margin reflects increases in the Company's Calvin Klein underwear (increased gross profit of $6.8 million and increased gross margin of 560 basis points), Core Brands (increased gross profit of $2.7 million and increased gross margin of 660 basis points), Fashion Brands (increased gross profit of $0.4 million) and Intimate Apparel retail (increased gross profit of $2.2 million). The increases in Calvin Klein underwear and Core Brands gross profit and gross margin primarily reflects the increases in net revenues described previously, improvements in the regular to off-price sales mix and favorable sourcing impact. The increases in Fashion Brands and Intimate Apparel retail primarily reflect the increases in net revenues discussed previously.
Swimwear Group gross profit increased $6.2 million, or 21.8%, and gross margin increased 90 basis points for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. The increase in gross profit and gross margin primarily reflects the increase in net revenues described previously, partially offset by lower margin sales and price accommodations associated with late/delayed shipments to customers (in connection with the new systems infrastructure implementation) during the First Quarter 2006 and continuation of line development for Ocean Pacific brands.
Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Six Months Ended July 2, 2005
Sportswear Group gross profit increased $48.1 million and gross margin increased 690 basis points. The majority of the increase reflects the gross profit of $69.1 million (including $2.4 million related to the recognition of cost of sales as a result of the inventory write-up to fair value in connection with the CKJEA Acquisition) related to the CKJEA Business. Excluding the effects of the CKJEA Business, gross profit decreased $21.0 million and gross margin decreased 450 basis points primarily reflecting the decrease in net revenues discussed previously, an unfavorable sales mix in Calvin Klein jeans as a result of the decrease in the ratio of club sales to total sales for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 and the increase in customer allowances in the Chaps business.
Intimate Apparel Group gross profit increased $19.0 million, or 17.8%, and gross margin increased 480 basis points. The increase in gross profit and gross margin reflects increases in the Company's Calvin Klein underwear (increased gross profit of $4.3 million and increased gross margin of 250 basis points), Core Brands (increased gross profit of $9.2 million and increased gross margin of 1,090 basis points), Fashion Brands (increased gross profit of $0.9 million) and Intimate Apparel retail (increased gross profit of $4.6 million). The increase in Calvin Klein underwear gross profit and gross margin primarily reflects the increase in net revenue described previously combined with an improved sales mix. The increase in Core Brands gross profit and gross margin primarily reflects the increase in net revenues described previously, an improved regular to off-price sales mix and more favorable allowances experience which the Company believes is the result of a more favorable reception of Core Brands (primarily Warner’s) at retail. The increases in Fashion Brands and Intimate Apparel retail primarily reflect the increases in net revenues discussed previously.
Swimwear Group gross profit decreased $7.3 million, or 8.0%, and gross margin decreased 310 basis points for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. The decrease in gross profit and gross margin primarily reflects inventory write-downs, continuation of line development for Ocean Pacific brands, and lower margin sales and price accommodations associated with late/delayed shipments to customers (in connection with the new systems infrastructure implementation) during the First Quarter 2006. The inventory write-downs related primarily to certain Ocean Pacific and Designer lines which did not generate the level of customer orders anticipated.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended July 2, 2005
SG&A expenses were $140.4 million (31.1% of net revenues) for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to $95.3 million (25.4% of net revenues) for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. Contributing to the increase in SG&A expenses was $33.7 million of SG&A expenses related to the CKJEA Business. Excluding the SG&A expenses for the CKJEA Business, SG&A expenses for the operating segments increased $8.9 million and unallocated corporate expenses increased $2.5 million. The increase in SG&A expenses for the operating segments primarily reflects an increase of $2.0 million in the Intimate Apparel Group (primarily variable selling expenses related to the increased sales volume), an increase of $0.6 million in the Sportswear Group and an increase of $6.3 million in the Swimwear Group (primarily related to continued investment in the Company’s Ocean Pacific brands, expenses associated with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure, severance expenses and increased professional fees). The increase in unallocated corporate expenses primarily reflects a $1.4 million increase in stock-based compensation, $1.6 million of incremental information technology expenses and other costs primarily associated with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure, partially offset by a reduction in all other items, net, of approximately $0.5 million. In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the net weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $0.4 million increase in SG&A expenses for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005.
Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Six Months Ended July 2, 2005

Contributing to the increase in SG&A expenses was $59.5 million of SG&A expenses related to the CKJEA Business. Excluding the SG&A expenses for the CKJEA Business, SG&A expenses for the operating segments increased $18.1 million and unallocated corporate expenses increased $1.4 million. The increase in SG&A expenses for the operating segments primarily reflects an increase of $5.2 million in the Intimate Apparel Group (primarily variable selling expenses related to the increased sales volume), an increase of $0.4 million in the Sportswear Group and an increase of $12.5 million in the Swimwear Group (primarily related to continued investment in the Company’s Ocean Pacific brand, expenses associated with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure, Speedo’s new national advertising campaign and severance expenses). The increase in unallocated corporate expenses primarily reflects a $1.6 million increase in stock-based compensation and $2.4 million of incremental information technology expenses and other costs primarily associated with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure, partially offset by a $1.1 million reduction in professional fees and a reduction in all other items, net, of approximately $1.5 million. In translating foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar, the net strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the functional currencies where the Company conducts certain of its operations (primarily the euro in Europe and Canadian dollar in Canada) resulted in a $1.5 million decrease in SG&A expenses for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005.
Amortization of Intangible Assets

Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended July 2, 2005
Sportswear Group operating income decreased $9.7 million, or 79.5%. Operating loss related to the CKJEA Business was $1.0 million for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 (including $2.6 million of amortization expense related to intangible assets and $1.1 million related to the recognition of cost of sales as a result of the inventory write-up to fair value in connection with the CKJEA Acquisition). Excluding operating loss related to the CKJEA Business, Sportswear Group operating income decreased $8.7 million, or 71.1%, reflecting decreases of $0.4 million, $7.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.4 million in Calvin Klein jeans, Chaps, Calvin Klein accessories and Mass sportswear licensing, respectively. The decrease in Calvin Klein jeans operating margin primarily reflects an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues primarily related to the function of lower net revenues and fixed operating expenses. The $7.0 million decrease in Chaps operating income primarily reflects a $6.4 million decrease in gross profit (due primarily to the increase in customer allowances) combined with a $0.6 million increase in SG&A expenses.
Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Six Months Ended July 2, 2005
Sportswear Group operating income decreased $16.4 million, or 61.0%. Operating income related to the CKJEA Business was $5.0 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 (net of $4.6 million of amortization expense related to intangible assets and $2.4 million related to the recognition of cost of sales as a result of the inventory write-up to fair value in connection with the CKJEA Acquisition). Excluding operating income related to the CKJEA Business, Sportswear Group operating income decreased $21.4 million, or 79.8%, reflecting decreases of $6.1 million, $11.9 million, $2.4 million and $1.0 million in Calvin Klein jeans, Chaps, Calvin Klein accessories and Mass sportswear licensing, respectively. The decrease in Calvin Klein jeans operating income primarily reflects the decrease in gross profit. The decrease in Calvin Klein jeans operating margin reflects an unfavorable sales mix coupled with an increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenues primarily related to the function of lower net revenues and fixed operating expenses. The decrease in Chaps operating income primarily reflects a decrease in gross profit of $10.3 million (due primarily to the increase in customer allowances) combined with an increase in SG&A expenses of $1.6 million.

The $0.9 million increase in Fashion Brands operating income reflects an increase in gross profit of $0.4 million combined with a decrease in SG&A expenses of $0.5 million due primarily to lower distribution costs.

Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended July 2, 2005
Swimwear Group operating income decreased $0.4 million, or 19.4%, reflecting an increase in gross profit (as discussed previously), more than offset by a $6.3 million increase in SG&A expenses and an increase of $0.3 in amortization of intangible assets (primarily related to the amortization of the Calvin Klein swimwear license acquired in May 2005). The increase in SG&A expenses primarily reflects an increase of $1.3 million to support the transition of the Ocean Pacific business from a 100% licensing model to a wholesale business model, an increase in marketing expenditures of approximately $0.8 million, increases in selling and distribution expenses of $2.1 million (related to incremental costs associated with the new systems infrastructure) and a $2.1 million increase in administrative expenses (related primarily to severance, professional fees and costs associated with the new systems infrastructure).
Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Six Months Ended July 2, 2005
Swimwear Group operating income decreased $20.4 million, or 56.6%, reflecting a decrease in gross profit (as discussed previously) combined with a $12.4 million increase in SG&A expenses and a $0.7 million increase in amortization of intangible assets (primarily related to the amortization of the Calvin Klein swimwear license acquired in May 2005). The increase in SG&A expenses primarily reflects an increase of $3.5 million to support the expansion of the Ocean Pacific business across the Company’s wholesale business model, an increase in marketing expenses of approximately $1.6 million primarily related to a recently introduced nationwide Speedo campaign and the 2006 Winter Olympics, increases in selling and distribution expenses of $3.4 million (related to incremental costs associated with the new systems infrastructure) and a $3.9 million increase in administrative expenses (related mainly to severance, professional fees, employee benefit costs and costs associated with the new systems infrastructure).
Other Loss (Income)
Other income of $0.8 million for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 primarily reflects a gain of $1.3 million on the current portion of inter-company loans denominated in a currency other than that
56
of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency, partially offset by a $0.5 million loss related to the premium paid by the Company to repurchase $5.0 million of the Company’s 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2013 (‘‘Senior Notes’’). See Financial Position, Capital Resources and Liquidity—Financing Arrangements—Senior Notes. Other loss of $1.1 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 primarily reflects a gain of $1.0 million on the current portion of inter-company loans denominated in a currency other than that of the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency and a gain of $0.9 million on purchases at fixed dollar exchange rates by foreign subsidiaries, more than offset by a loss of $2.5 million on a foreign exchange forward contract entered into by the Company to facilitate the purchase of the CKJEA Business (which purchase price was denominated in euros) and a $0.5 million loss on the repurchase of debt (described above). Other loss for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005 and the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 primarily reflect losses of $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, on the current portion of inter-company loans to foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in U.S. dollars, offset by realized gains and losses on sales of marketable securities obtained by the Company as part of certain bankruptcy settlements and distributions.
Interest Expense, Net
Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended July 2, 2005
Interest expense increased $4.9 million to $9.4 million for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 from $4.5 million for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. The increase in interest expense for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 was due mainly to interest expense of $3.1 million on the Term B Note (as defined below) and $0.5 million on CKJEA Business short-term debt in connection with the CKJEA Acquisition, a $0.6 million decrease in interest income on notes receivable and a $0.4 million increase in interest expense related to the Company’s Senior Notes (due primarily to interest rate resets on the 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements).
Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Six Months Ended July 2, 2005
Interest expense increased $7.8 million to $17.4 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 from $9.6 million for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. The increase in interest expense for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 was due mainly to interest expense of $5.1 million on the Term B Note and $1.2 million on CKJEA Business short-term debt in connection with the CKJEA Acquisition, a $0.8 million decrease in interest income on notes receivable and a $0.7 million increase in interest expense related to the Company’s Senior Notes (due primarily to interest rate resets on the 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements).
Income Taxes
Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Three Months Ended July 2, 2005
The effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 was approximately 36.1% compared to approximately 35.2% for the Three Months Ended July 2, 2005. The higher effective tax rate for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 relates primarily to losses in certain foreign tax jurisdictions where the Company has not recorded a financial statement tax benefit. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to Six Months Ended July 2, 2005
The effective tax rate for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 was approximately 35.3% compared to approximately 38.4% for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. The lower effective tax rate for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 relates to a favorable earnings mix between higher and lower tax jurisdictions. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In August 2006, the Company received a ruling from the taxation authority in the Netherlands related to the Company’s operations in that region. The ruling will take effect retroactive to the beginning of 2006. The Company is evaluating the effect of the ruling and anticipates that the ruling will result in a reduction in its effective tax rate for the 2006 fiscal year.

Financial Position, Capital Resources and Liquidity
Financing Arrangements
Senior Notes
On June 12, 2003, Warnaco Inc. (‘‘Warnaco’’), the principal operating subsidiary of Warnaco Group, completed the sale of $210.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes at par value, which notes mature on June 15, 2013 and bear interest at a rate of 8 7/8% payable semi-annually on December 15 and June 15 of each year. No principal payments prior to the maturity date are required. The Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Warnaco Group and substantially all of Warnaco's domestic subsidiaries (all of which are 100% owned, either directly or indirectly, by Warnaco).
On June 2, 2006, the Company purchased $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding $210.0 million Senior Notes for total consideration of $5.2 million in the open market. In connection with the purchase, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $0.5 million related to the premium paid to repurchase the debt, which included the writedown of a proportionate share of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $0.3 million. The loss on extinguishment of debt is included in the Other loss (income) line item in the Company’s Statement of Operations.
The amount outstanding under the Senior Notes was $205.0 million as of July 1, 2006 and $210.0 million as of December 31, 2005 and July 2, 2005, respectively.
The indenture governing the Senior Notes places certain restrictions on the Company. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Senior Notes as of July 1, 2006, December 31, 2005 and July 2, 2005.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
On September 18, 2003, the Company entered into an Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the ‘‘2003 Swap Agreement’’) with respect to the Senior Notes for a total notional amount of $50 million. The 2003 Swap Agreement provides that the Company will receive interest at 8 7/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six month London Interbank Offered Rate (‘‘LIBOR’’) plus 4.11% (9.53% at July 1, 2006, 8.78% at December 31, 2005 and 7.73% at July 2, 2005). The 2003 Swap Agreement expires on June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature).
On November 5, 2004, the Company entered into a second Interest Rate Swap Agreement (the ‘‘2004 Swap Agreement’’) with respect to the Company's Senior Notes for a total notional amount of $25 million. The 2004 Swap Agreement provides that the Company will receive interest at 8 7/8% and pay a variable rate of interest based upon six months LIBOR plus 4.34% (9.76% at July 1, 2006, 9.01% at December 31, 2005 and 7.96% at July 2, 2005). The 2004 Swap Agreement expires on June 15, 2013 (the date on which the Senior Notes mature).
As a result of the 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements, the weighted average effective interest rate of the Senior Notes was 9.14% as of July 1, 2006.
The fair value of the Company's outstanding interest rate swap agreements reflect the termination premium (unrealized loss) or termination discount (unrealized gain) that the Company would realize if such swaps were terminated on the valuation date. Since the provisions of the Company's 2003 Swap Agreement and the 2004 Swap Agreement match the provisions of the Company's outstanding Senior Notes (the ‘‘hedged debt’’), changes in the fair value of the outstanding swaps do not have any effect on the Company's results of operations but are recorded in the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheets. Unrealized gains on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included in other assets with a corresponding increase in the hedged debt. Unrealized losses on the outstanding interest rate swap agreements are included as a component of long-term debt with a corresponding decrease in the hedged debt. The table below summarizes the fair value (unrealized gains (losses)) of the Company's outstanding swap agreements:

Revolving Credit Facility; Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On February 4, 2003, the date the Company emerged from bankruptcy, the Company entered into a $275 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, which was amended on November 12, 2003, August 1, 2004 and September 15, 2005. On January 31, 2006, the revolving credit facility was amended and restated (the ‘‘Amended and Restated Credit Agreement’’) in connection with the closing of the CKJEA Acquisition to, among other things, add a $180 million term loan facility (the ‘‘Term B Note’’) which was used to finance a portion of the CKJEA Acquisition. Generally, the loans under the Term B Note bear interest at Citibank N.A.’s base rate plus 0.50% or at LIBOR plus 1.50%, in each case, on a per annum basis. As of July 1, 2006, the weighted average interest rate for the loans outstanding under the Term B Note was 7.02%. The Term B Note matures on January 31, 2013 and must be repaid at the rate of $450,000 per quarter from June 30, 2006 through March 31, 2012 and $42.3 million on each of June 30, 2012, September 30, 2012, December 31, 2012 and January 31, 2013. Loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be required to be repaid upon the occurrence of certain events, including certain types of asset sales, insurance recoveries, and issuances of debt. In addition, the Term B Note requires Warnaco to repay term loan principal in amounts equal to 25% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), if any, subject to certain conditions.
In addition to the amendments under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement relating to the Term B Note, on January 31, 2006, the Company also increased the revolving credit facility commitment under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to $225 million. The $225 million revolving credit facility commitment under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement matures on February 3, 2009. The revolving credit facility includes a provision which allows Warnaco to increase the maximum available borrowings under the revolving credit facility from $225 million to $375 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at Citibank N.A.’s base rate plus 0.5% (8.75% at July 1, 2006 and 7.75% at December 31, 2005) or at LIBOR plus 1.5% (approximately 6.98% and 6.04% at July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively), in each case, on a per annum basis. The rates of interest payable on outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility may change based on the Company’s financial ratios. Warnaco enters into contracts to elect the LIBOR option when it expects borrowings to be outstanding for more than 30 days. The remaining balances bear interest based upon Citibank N.A.’s base rate. The revolving credit facility contains financial covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio above a minimum level and a leverage ratio below a maximum level and limit the amount of the Company’s capital expenditures. In addition, the revolving credit facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit investments and asset sales, prohibit the payment of dividends (subject to limited exceptions) and limit the incurrence of material additional indebtedness. As part of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, certain covenants were modified, including financial covenants and the covenants relating to indebtedness, acquisitions, asset sales and investments. Further, certain terms and conditions under which an Event of Default (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) may be declared were amended.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (other than Warnaco) and the obligations under such guaranty, together with Warnaco’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, are secured by a lien for the benefit of the lenders on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries.
As of July 1, 2006, under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company had $180 million outstanding under the Term B Note and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.
59
As discussed in Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Restatement and Part II—Item 5. Other Information, the Company will be restating its consolidated financial statements for the Fourth Quarter 2005, Fiscal 2005 and the First Quarter 2006. As a result of the restatements, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants (related to the timely delivery and accuracy of annual and monthly financial statements) of its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of July 1, 2006. On August 15, 2006, the Company obtained a thirty-day waiver of the relevant covenants from the lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company expects that it will be in full compliance with all covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement before the waiver expires.
Foreign Revolving Credit Facility
During Fiscal 2005, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (the ‘‘Foreign Subsidiaries’’) entered into a $25 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the ‘‘Foreign Revolving Credit Facility’’). The Foreign Revolving Credit Facility provides for a four year, non-amortizing revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at LIBOR or, if applicable, Bank of America, N.A.’s base rate, in each case, plus 2.25% or 2.00% (depending on the level of EBITDA (as defined in the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility) of the Foreign Subsidiaries). The Foreign Revolving Credit Facility is secured by first priority security interests on the assets of the Foreign Subsidiaries and the Foreign Subsidiaries guarantee each others’ obligations under the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility. The Company has never had any borrowings outstanding under the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility.
The Foreign Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants that require the Foreign Subsidiaries to maintain certain financial ratios and limit the amount of the Foreign Subsidiaries’ capital expenditures. In addition, the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility contains certain restrictive covenants which, among other things, limit investments by the Foreign Subsidiaries and prohibit the Foreign Subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness. The Company’s ability to borrow under the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility as of July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
CKJEA Assumed Debt
In connection with the CKJEA Acquisition, the Company assumed the CKJEA Business’ outstanding debt of approximately $90.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the acquisition, the Company repaid approximately $45.0 million of the outstanding debt. The remaining debt consists of short-term notes with a number of banks at various interest rates (primarily Euro LIBOR plus 1.0%). As of July 1, 2006, the weighted average interest rate for the CKJEA assumed debt outstanding was approximately 3.56%.
Liquidity
As of July 1, 2006, the Company had working capital of $462.7 million, cash and cash equivalents of $138.4 million, short-term debt of $43.6 million as a result of the CKJEA Acquisition, no borrowings under the revolving credit facility of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and no borrowings under the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility. As of July 1, 2006, the Company had $132.7 million of credit available under the revolving credit facility of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which included available borrowings of $214.0 million (based upon the current borrowing base calculations) plus $50.4 million of cash collateral, less outstanding letters of credit of $131.7 million.
The Company’s total debt as of July 1, 2006 was $426.3 million, consisting of $205.0 million of the Senior Notes, $179.6 million of the Term B Note under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and $41.7 million of debt of the CKJEA Business assumed in connection with the closing of the CKJEA Acquisition.
The Company believes that cash available under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, cash available under the Foreign Revolving Credit Facility and cash to be generated from future
60
operating activities will be sufficient to fund its operations, including capital expenditures and its share repurchase program, for the next three years. If the Company requires additional sources of capital, it will consider reducing capital expenditures, seeking additional financing or selling assets to meet such requirements.
Share Repurchase Program
In July 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to enter into a share repurchase program of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock. In order to comply with the terms of the applicable debt instruments (which contain certain limitations on share repurchases which can be made in a given period), the Company expects that purchases under the share repurchase program will be made over the course of the next three years. During the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006, the Company repurchased 675,000 shares of its common stock in the open market at a total cost of $12.2 million (an average cost of $18.05 per share). As of July 1, 2006, the Company had purchased a total of 684,151 shares of its common stock in the open market at a total cost of $12.4 million (an average cost of $18.13 per share) under the share repurchase program since its inception. The share repurchase program may be modified or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time. See Part II—Item 2—Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $84.5 million in the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to $104.3 million in the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. The $19.8 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was due primarily to an $18.4 million decrease in net income for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. The Company experienced net working capital inflows of $36.4 million during the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to $50.9 million for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. The net working capital inflows for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 were due primarily to a $74.1 million decrease in net inventories, partially offset by a $32.4 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The net working capital inflows for the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005 were due primarily to a $58.4 million decrease in net inventories.
Cash used in investing activities was $225.4 million in the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to $15.7 million in the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. This $209.7 million increase was due primarily to $207.9 million used for business acquisitions (mainly the CKJEA Acquisition completed on January 31, 2006—see Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
Cash provided by financing activities was $112.3 million in the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 compared to $0.3 million in the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005. The $112.0 million increase was due primarily to $180.0 million of debt issued, partially offset by $44.5 million of repayment of debt assumed in connection with the CKJEA Acquisition, $13.5 million of treasury stock purchases
61
(primarily $12.2 million under the stock repurchase program) and $5.2 million total consideration for the purchase of $5.0 million of principal of the Senior Notes.
Significant Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Contractual obligations and commitments as of July 1, 2006 were not materially different from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2005, with the exception of the repurchase of $5.0 million of Senior Notes, the Term B Note, assumed short-term notes payable, additional lease obligations and additional minimum royalty payments incurred in connection with the CKJEA Acquisition (See Note 11 and Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements). Please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2005 for a description of those obligations and commitments outstanding as of December 31, 2005.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements through unconsolidated limited purpose entities.
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Disclosure
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as certain other written, electronic and oral disclosures made by the Company from time to time, contains ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ within the meaning of Rule 3b-6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’), Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and relevant legal decisions. The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and reflect, when made, the Company's estimates, objectives, projections, forecasts, plans, strategies, beliefs, intentions, opportunities and expectations. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results or expectations and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking language, such as the words ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘project,’’ ‘‘scheduled to,’’ ‘‘seek,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘will be,’’ ‘‘will continue,’’ ‘‘will likely result,’’ or the negative of those terms, or other similar words and phrases or by discussions of intentions or strategies.
The following factors, among others, including those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2005, as filed with the SEC on March 3, 2006, under the heading ‘‘Risk Factors’’ (as such disclosure may be modified or supplemented from time to time), could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by it: economic conditions that affect the apparel industry; the Company’s failure to anticipate, identify or promptly react to changing trends, styles, or brand preferences; further declines in prices in the apparel industry; declining sales resulting from increased competition in the Company’s markets; increases in the prices of raw materials; events which result in difficulty in procuring or producing the Company’s products on a cost-effective basis; the effect of laws and regulations, including those relating to labor, workplace and the environment; changing international trade regulation, including as it relates to the imposition or elimination of quotas on imports of textiles and apparel; the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property or the costs incurred by the Company related thereto; the Company’s dependence on a limited number of customers; the effects of consolidation in the retail sector; the Company’s dependence on license agreements with third parties; the Company’s dependence on the reputation of its brand names, including, in particular, Calvin Klein; the Company’s exposure to conditions in overseas markets in connection with the Company’s foreign operations and the sourcing of products from foreign third-party vendors; the Company’s foreign currency exposure; the Company’s history of insufficient disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and restated financial statements; unanticipated future internal control deficiencies or weaknesses or ineffective disclosure controls and procedures; the sufficiency of cash to fund operations, including capital expenditures; the Company’s ability to service its indebtedness, the effect of changes in interest rates on the Company’s indebtedness that is subject to floating interest rates and the limitations
62
imposed on the Company’s operating and financial flexibility by the agreements governing the Company’s indebtedness; the Company’s dependence on its senior management team and other key personnel; disruptions in the Company’s operations caused by difficulties with the SAP Apparel and Footwear Solution; the limitations on purchases under the Company’s share repurchase program contained in the Company’s debt instruments, the number of shares that the Company purchases under such program and the prices paid for such shares; the failure of newly acquired businesses to generate expected levels of revenues; the failure of the Company to successfully integrate such businesses with its existing businesses (and as a result, not achieving all or a substantial portion of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition); and such newly acquired business being adversely affected, including by one or more of the factors described above, and thereby failing to achieve anticipated revenues and earnings growth.
The Company encourages investors to read the section entitled ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and the discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies under ’’Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies’’ included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2005, as such discussion may be modified or supplemented by subsequent reports that the Company files with the SEC, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion of forward-looking statements is not exhaustive but is designed to highlight important factors that may affect actual results. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except for the Company's ongoing obligation under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
The Company is exposed to market risk primarily related to changes in hypothetical investment values under certain of the Company’s employee benefit plans, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculation or for trading purposes.
Market Risk
During 2005, the Company adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Liabilities accrued for the plan’s participants are based on the participants’ contributions and the market values of hypothetical investments approved by the Company that are selected by the participants. Increases and decreases in liabilities attributable to changes in the market values of the participant’s hypothetical investments are reflected in the Company’s statement of operations. As of July 1, 2006, the total liability accrued attributable to participants’ accounts was approximately $0.6 million. A hypothetical increase of 10% in the value of participants’ hypothetical investment accounts (which would increase the accrued liability related to the deferred compensation plan) would not have had a material effect on the Company’s balance sheet or statement of operations for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company has market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates on its 2003 and 2004 Swap Agreements with notional amounts totaling $75 million and the $180 million of loans outstanding under the Term B Note under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company is not exposed to interest rate risk on its Senior Notes or revolving credit facility under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement because the interest rate on the Senior Notes is fixed at 8 7/8% per annum and the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of July 1, 2006. A hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rates for the outstanding swap agreements would have had an unfavorable impact of approximately $0.4 million for each of the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 and the Six Months Ended July 2, 2005, respectively, on the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates for the loans outstanding under the Term B Note would have had an unfavorable impact of $0.6 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006 on the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes.
63
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company has foreign currency exposures primarily related to buying in currencies other than the functional currency in which it operates. These exposures are primarily concentrated in the Company's Canadian, Mexican and European operations (which accounted for approximately 30% of the Company's total net revenues for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006) to the extent such operations purchase products denominated in U.S. dollars. Total purchases of products by foreign subsidiaries denominated in U.S. dollars amounted to approximately $62.1 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006. A hypothetical decrease of 10% in the value of these foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would have increased cost of goods sold (which would decrease operating income) by $6.2 million for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006.
As of July 1, 2006, the Company had foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding to purchase, through September 2006, approximately $2.6 million for a total of approximately €2.2 million at a weighted-average exchange rate of 1.217. The foreign currency exchange contracts mature through September 2006 and are designed to fix the number of euros required to satisfy the first one-third of dollar denominated purchases of inventory by certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the foreign currency exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar (i.e., an increase in the euro/dollar exchange rate from 1.217 to 1.3388) would have decreased the unrealized gain on outstanding foreign exchange contracts by approximately $0.3 million at July 1, 2006. The change would not have had any effect on the Company’s results of operations because such unrealized gains are recorded in other comprehensive income until the related inventory is sold.
In January 2006, in connection with the CKJEA Acquisition, the Company entered into a euro forward purchase contract to purchase approximately €146.0 million for $180.0 million. The change in the euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate at the close of the business on the purchase date compared to the euro forward purchase contract exchange rate resulted in an exchange loss of approximately $2.5 million which the Company recorded during the Six Months Ended July 1, 2006.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on management's evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
As discussed in Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Part I— Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Part II—Item 5. Other Information, included in this report, the Company will be restating its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the Fourth Quarter 2005, Fiscal 2005 and the First Quarter 2006. The Company has evaluated the effect of the restatements of its previously issued consolidated financial statements on the Company’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, April 1, 2006 and July 1, 2006 and concluded that the material weaknesses identified in 1. below existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of each of the applicable periods and the material weakness identified in 2. below existed as of April 1, 2006 and July 1, 2006. A material weakness, as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
1. | Accounting for Certain Returns and Customer Allowances |
During the course of completing its regular second quarter review process and in finalizing its financial statements for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006, the Company discovered certain
64
irregularities in the accounting for certain return authorizations and customer allowances at its Chaps menswear division. The controls in place related to the financial closing and reporting process failed to operate effectively and did not detect these accounting irregularities in the Fourth Quarter 2005 and the First Quarter 2006. The Company reported these matters to its Audit Committee, which engaged outside counsel, who in turn retained forensic accountants, to investigate and report to the Audit Committee. Based upon the information obtained in that investigation, the Audit Committee accepted management’s recommendation that the Company restate its financial statements for the Fourth Quarter 2005, Fiscal 2005 and for the First Quarter 2006.
Remediation of this material weakness involves changes in personnel, greater emphasis and attention to monitoring controls to ensure individuals responsible for the preparation of financial statements are fully aware of arrangements regarding return authorizations and customer allowances, and education of sales personnel as to the appropriate treatments of sales returns and customer allowances under U.S. GAAP. Remediation is underway and is planned for completion by December 31, 2006.
2. | Application of Customer Specific Pricing Conditions |
In January 2006, the Company implemented a new systems infrastructure encompassing finance, sales and distribution and materials management in its Swimwear Group in the U.S. and Canada, and certain of its U.S. shared service departments. In connection with the implementation, certain customer specific pricing conditions were not configured properly in the new system and, as a result, invoicing to certain customers was incorrect during the First Quarter 2006. The Company did not have certain controls designed and implemented during the First Quarter 2006 in the financial closing process to detect accounting errors related to customer invoicing in the Swimwear Group. The Company reviewed this matter with its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee accepted management’s recommendation that the Company restate its consolidated condensed financial statements for the First Quarter 2006 to include adjustments for this error.
Remediation of this material weakness consists of the development of exception reports to identify transactions where customer pricing data is inconsistent, timely review and resolution of exceptions identified by such reports by management and additional user training. The exception reports have been developed and the new control procedures are being implemented during the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this report are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with U.S. GAAP for each of the periods presented herein. Management’s conclusion as to the fairness of the presentation of the financial statements included in this report is based in part on the substantial work performed by management during the restatement process, as well as on the report of outside counsel (including the report of the independent forensic accountants) engaged by the Company’s Audit Committee as part of its investigation.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on January 31, 2006, the Company completed the CKJEA Acquisition. Total revenues and total assets of the CKJEA Business were $124.1 million for the period January 31, 2006 to July 1, 2006 and approximately $430.6 million as of July 1, 2006, respectively. During the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006, the Company continued implementing integration activities related to the CKJEA Acquisition, including further review of the controls and procedures of the acquired business. The acquired business, headquartered outside of the U.S., was accustomed to operating under less stringent financial reporting and operating control frameworks, compared to those of the Company (including, without limitation, with respect to reporting deadlines, application of U.S. GAAP, general computer controls and the extent of process documentation). As of July 1, 2006, the Company was in the process of documenting and testing the CKJEA Business' internal controls over financial reporting for effectiveness. The Company continues to identify changes in process, systems and documentation that it expects to undertake as part of the
65
inclusion of the acquired business in the Company’s Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 assessment, when applicable, and is implementing steps to strengthen the control environments of the acquired business.
During the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006, the Company continued to implement the new systems infrastructure in its Swimwear Group in the U.S. and Canada, and certain of its U.S. shared service departments. In connection with the implementation of the new systems infrastructure (and the associated conversion of data and processes to the new system infrastructure), the Company is updating its internal controls over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to its business processes and to take advantage of enhanced automated controls provided by the new systems infrastructure and is in the process of testing these internal controls over financial reporting for effectiveness.
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
See item (a) above for a discussion of certain changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period after July 1, 2006 in connection with the remediation of material weaknesses associated with the restatements of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2005, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2006, for a description of certain significant risks and uncertainties to which the Company’s business, operations and financial condition are subject.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
The following table summarizes repurchases of the Company’s common stock during the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006.
The Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to enter into a share repurchase program of up to three million shares of common stock in July 2005. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. In order to comply with the terms of applicable debt instruments (which contain certain limitations on share repurchases that may be made in a give period), the Company expects that purchases under the share repurchase program will be made over the course of the next three years. During the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006, the Company repurchased 675,000 shares in the open market under the share repurchase program. The share repurchase program may be modified or terminated by the Company's Board of Directors at any time.
In addition to the 675,000 shares repurchased pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program, an aggregate of 4,912 shares set forth below as repurchased during the Three Months Ended July 1, 2006 reflect the surrender of shares in connection with the vesting of certain restricted stock awarded by the Company to its employees. At the election of an employee, shares having an aggregate value on the vesting date equal to the employee's withholding tax obligation may be surrendered to the Company in satisfaction thereof.

Item 5. Other Information.
Restatement
As discussed in Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Part I— Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, subsequent to the issuance of the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements for the First Quarter 2006, the Company discovered irregularities in the accounting for certain return authorizations and customer allowances at its Chaps menswear division and also identified an error which was discovered subsequent to the implementation of its new systems infrastructure at its Swimwear Group. As a result, the Company will be restating its financial statements for Fourth Quarter 2005, Fiscal 2005 and First Quarter 2006. As soon as practicable, the Company will be amending its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2005 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the First Quarter 2006 for the effects of these restatements and to correct certain other immaterial errors discovered as part of the Company's normal quarterly review process.
